The disciples were all pumped full of adrenaline. At first, they held back, but they gradually got carried away, and their attacks became increasingly ruthless.
But everyone still remembered Song Qingyun's instructions: do not go deep into the mountains, and absolutely do not pursue any demon beasts that fled.
Everything seemed to be proceeding as usual.
Song Qingyun felt uneasy and kept a constant watch on his surroundings. Because of this, he couldn't fully concentrate while fighting the demon beasts and ended up with some minor injuries.
Just then, a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Power suddenly came from deep within the mountains.
"On guard!"
Song Qingyun shouted immediately. The disciples tensed and instantly moved toward the center.
Even when demon beasts blocked their path, they rushed back to the center without a second thought, quickly gathering together and raising their guard.
The elders also assembled quickly, forming a protective circle around the disciples.
